Babylon Burning

(album: Wednesday After Next - 2019)

Commander, copy, come in, you hear me?
Babylon's on fire, it's burning now
Commander, come in, please, answer
The Babylon's on fire, it's burning now

Yeah
Pulling up like I'm in Liberty City with all the wanted stars
Entourage filled with freedom fighters throwing molotovs
Disobeying Marshall law and carrying steel
No Bob Marley bitch, we went and shot the sheriff for real
And in the air you could feel
There's no solution as the tension's brewing
They took our freedom so we fighting for some restitution
And all my fellow patriots are either dead or shooting
Unleashing retribution, it's the fucking revolution
And they gon' tear this whole establishment down
With dreams of building something great from all the ashes around
Yeah, they thought we were the sheep but take a gaze at us now
Through all the smoke and the fire
(When the radio sounds)

Commander, copy, come in, you hear me?
Babylon's on fire, it's burning now
Commander, come in, please, answer
The Babylon's on fire, it's burning now

They can't stop the slaughter when we bust that rocket launcher
Squad officer yelling "Please Sir, no, I got a daughter!"
Listen, we don't care, half our soldiers have got children at stake
So either fight with us or hollow points'll seal your fate
'Cause while the people you've been serving kept us timid and tame
And destroyed our fucking planet all for money and power
We all been treated like the pawns within their sinister games
And now we watch 'em flee like rodents from their crumbling towers
Yeah, they begging 'fore we murder them
When ya'll assassinated all our hope for change, where was the mercy then?
And now ya'll want forgiveness, when the fucking guns are smoking?
And your perfect picket fences are all busted open?
Shit, you must be fucking joking
Ya'll had your moment to live lavish and peaceful
We endured through all the tyranny, madness and evil
Now we've had it and we will burn your corporations down
Sever heads, take your crowns and give 'em back to the people
Bow

Commander, copy, come in, you hear me?
Babylon's on fire, it's burning now
Commander, come in, please, answer
The Babylon's on fire, it's burning now
